As you all know, iPhone OS 4.0 beta 1 is released to developers. I will not cover all the new features of iPhone OS 4. Those posts are all over the internet.

But I will give you the standard warnings:

1) This is beta. If you are not a developer using it to develop apps, do not install it.
2) Like all previous major betas, this will probably expire every few weeks requiring you to restore or update.
3) This beta does put a new baseband on your device. If you ever want to unlock, dont touch it.
4) This beta will be slow and buggy. Release is still 4 months off!
5) You may have problems downgrading if you want to do so if you don’t have an SHSH stored etc.

In the meantime, remember you got all the new features already in your jailbreak:

It would be nice to not have to pay for the extra features like music controls and stuff tho. also I can’t get music controls(trial) to work with the skip buttons on my bluetooth headset, I wonder if OS 4.0 will work.

I love all my JB apps and features, I paid to get most of them and would to continue doing so to support the community, but at the same time I’d love to be able to create a folder, add apps to and reorder them without having to open categories and respring, every.single time!

Same goes to multitaksing; I wanna stop worrying about managing the memory, worrying about the leaks, dealing the sluggishness that builds up with every time I use backgrounder.

Yeah… Apple did a great job with 4.0 folders, but their multitasking will not be quite as useful as backgrounder… They won’t fully background AppStore apps unless the dev supports it. I am very glad they added springboard wallpaper etc… Might not upgrade to 4.0 until full releasez

I totally agree with the Boss we have it all on our JB phones plus those a holes in apple won’t give us 3g users multitasking so untill a full release of official 4 and it’s JB (plus working tweaks) I’m sticking to my 3.1.2 mascaraded as 3.1.3 using the app and thnx Boss

To be a little fair, I like more the interfase Apple has made I mean, folders from 4.0 looks a lot better than categories, and also the multitasking is more computer-like, so… I think I will just wait for the final relase and subsequent jailbreak

«4.0 Multitasking = Install Circuitous / Backgrounder from Cydia.»
I don’t agree. Apple’s Multitask is a way better solution for multitasking applications. While Backgrounder puts Apps in the background, making it slower and wasting more battery, Apple’s Multitask freezes the app, making it if it were like in Suspension Mode but still opened.
But I will still jailbreak for 4.0: I want to see Apple’s Multitask Service on my iPhone 3G (and not 3G[S], those damn bastards…)

JB will be everlasting so long as apple doesnt go completely Open source, but then i would think cydia would stay, and as long as they dont find away to stop the exploits. but anyway 4.0 doesnt completely work on earlier generations so JB will still be around for that.

Who needs APPLE when we got CYDIA and all the DEVELOPERS for the JB community always looking out! This only proves that the purpose of having an iPhone is to jailbreak it to make it work how it should have been from the beginning. Now of course APPLE wanna take credit for someone else hard work! Yeah APPLE we already got your so called NEW features.lol I Love you guys, keep up the marvelous work!!!!

BigBoss: If you see this, I’d like to talk about SBSettings and 4.0, because it doesn’t seem to work (my iPhone 3G running 4.0b1 just goes into safe mode). If you’re having a private beta, please let me know! SBSettings is a necessity.

OS4 beta 1 is bad for newbies like me. Installed it in VMWare since it gave me error 13 under Win 7. How Apple is that? Not only I had to learn how to install Mac OS Leopard from Windows but also learned that Apple don’t want us to have MS products. Why error 13 then? It’s not like Billy forced Steve to release beta before time? Who knows :D So somehow managed to upgrade mine ipt2g on virtual mac ;D five minutes later I realized that I’m having problems trying to connect to WiFi. Password was right. Ain’t that silly. Last night looking at iH8tSnOw (sorry for probably wrong name :) ) Twitter I realized I wasn’t wrong it was that error. Unable connect to WiFI. Guess what? I’ve downgraded to OS3.1.2. No Irestore shite. No. Thanks to win version of if I’ve ended up reinstalling Win OS again. Anyhow after clean install of Win 7 and Virtual MacOS I thought. I’ll have a go on Pwnage tool. God only knows how but I’ve managed to create custom 3.1.3 for ipt2g on Virtual MacOS. So here I am writing this stuff from mine ipt2g with custom OS 3.1.3 warning people not to upgrade to OS 4 beta just yet. Head ache 100%. From learning point of view it’s ok since we live and learn so I’ve learn that OS4 beta ain’t good yet Virtual MacOS is good so is custom iPhone fw created by urself not only downloaded from the net. I hope u do find this interesting. At least it my ecpierence I had last week.
